Dota 2 Boston Major
Valve Corporation has announced the next Dota 2 Major
The next Valve-sponsored event will take place December 7 – 10, 2016 at Wang Theatre in Boston, USA. The tournament will be hosted by PGL.
Valve has previously worked with PGL on presenting the Manila Major earlier this year. The company has a great track record of hosting esports events and a pretty long history of partnerships with Valve.
The Open Qualifiers for the Boston Major will run October 23 – 26, followed by the Regional Qualifiers on October 27 – 30. The Group Stage will take place December 3 – 4 and they will determine the seeding for the Main Event. The most interesting and controversial addition to this event is the introduction of a single-elimination playoff bracket, which was never previously used in a Valve event.
The prize pool is currently set at $3 mil and there is no word on the possibility of community funding. The list of invited teams is also unknown. We are likely to get answers to these questions and more in the coming weeks.
